Teslas don't have a blended braking system. When you step on the brake petal in a Tesla, the physical brakes are used. At no point of you stepping on the brake petal are regen motors engaged first then the physical brakes.Current Tesla production uses their own version of this to provide a blended braking
When you lift off the accelerator their motors note this reverse thrust and convert to generators to put this energy back into their batteries. If additional retardation is desired the physical brakes can be engaged and they physically will slow or stop the car.
This happens seamlessly when coming to a full stop. Regen is automatically augmented by physical brakes to finish the job of slowing to a full stop
Yeah, we Volt owners were so proud of their blended braking system; and scoffed at Tesla's primitive braking. When I owned a Volt, blended seemed like a good idea, except for that transition point, from regen to brake pad brakes, where the car seemed to accelerate for a brief moment. A little disconcerting. Obviously it doesn't accelerate, it just slows less, but I can see how newbies would get all worried that their brakes weren't working.Teslas don't have a blended braking system.

That article is garbage. The rear caliper has an integrated electronic parking brake (EPB). This is literally only used when placing the vehicle into park or taking it out of park (an electronic motor spins the piston in or out). When you are driving the car and pressing the brake pedal the caliper uses hydraulic fluid to actuate the piston.

If it's truly brake-by-wire how can it have any brake pedal feel? Does it have an electronically controlled means of quickly changing pedal resistance?The Alfa Guilia has a BBW system. The way it’s tuned in that car doesn’t offer great brake feel, particularly at low speeds but that’s something that should improve as these systems grow in maturity and manufacturer’s get better at tuning them.
Yes, pedal feel is simulated.If it's truly brake-by-wire how can it have any brake pedal feel? Does it have an electronically controlled means of quickly changing pedal resistance?
Whenever you lift off the accelerator, regen is engaged if there is room for extra energy in the battery. If you let your car regen to a full stop, the last few feet will be arrested by physical braking. Even when you are applying physical brakes, the regen is still working in the background to assist in stopping the car.Teslas don't have a blended braking system.
